The only issue, I had to mod the Megahalems support brackets as they were not 1156/55 compatible.
Haven't done any load testing, but idle is 20°c less.

Oh and the first dimm slot is not usable, even with a 25mm fan.

I can not get my board running it is just a complete headache. Right now every time windows finishes up installing, reboots, it loads up the windows logo then freezes and goes to BSOD. Doesn't even get to finalizing install where I enter in the serial key and my info. I keep trying to open memtest. Ut can not get it to do so. Can someone tell me how? I'm certain I'm doing it right but just want to make sure.

I never did figure out how to run the new memtest, sorry.

EDIT>I was trying with the usb version, there's a new iso version available, have you tried it?

Have you tried installing the os on the raptor instead of the ssd?Edited by grunion - 1/21/11 at 9:00pm

Only problem is that the motherboard will not detect my SSD. I am try to get the system to detect a G.Skill Falcon2 128Gb. I know it is not the power or sata connections causing problems. The SSD is also had it fw updated to the latest provided by g.skill.

Someone else having problems to this or can tell me how to fix my situation?
